Authorize Manufacturing Time of Employee
Explanation
This activity is used to authorize manufacturing labor time reported by an employee on shop order operations and
indirect jobs. The settings specified for the site to which an employee is connected in IFS/Manufacturing
determines whether or not manufacturing time reported by employee requires authorization.
To perform this activity you can use the Time Authorization page as well as the Time
Card page. If IFS/Time Management module is used in the system, the Time Registration page
can also be used to authorize time.
Prerequisites
In order to perform this activity:
- The log-in user is required to have sufficient authorization rights in order to access the employee's
time information. The authority level of the user depends on the authority attribute specified in the
Access Role page.
- The Authorization Required option must be enabled on the Site/Manufacturing
page for the site defined as the primary site for the employee on the Shop Floor Employee
page.
- If attendance is reported using clocking intervals, the day is required to be completed. Otherwise,
incomplete days should be allowed for the employee as defined in the parameter list connected to the
employee's work hour rule.
- A difference should not exist between the attendance hours and manufacturing hours for the day unless a
difference is allowed for the employee as defined in the parameter list connected to the employee's work hour
rule.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The Authorized option will be enabled for manufacturing time on the Time Card page.
- The Authorized option is also enabled on the Labor History, Labor and Operation
History pagesand the Shop Floor Workbench/Reports tab for each shop floor
transaction belonging to the authorized days. This allows the postings related to the transactions to be
transferred for financial processing.
- The Authorized option will be enabled on the Indirect Labor History page for
indirect job transactions belonging to the authorized days. This allows the postings related to the transactions
to be transferred for financial processing.
- If the manufacturing hours reported by employee for a day are less than the attendance hours at the time of
authorizing, a transaction will be automatically created for the remaining hours using the indirect job for
difference specified for the employee on the Shop Floor Employee page. This will only be effective
when both attendance hours and manufacturing hours are authorized either simultaneously or alternately.
